To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 'I, ETHEL V. Hence, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and use .ful Improvements in Powder-Boxes, of which the following, taken in connection with the drawing, is a description.

My invention has for its object the pro- 7 1 duction of a powder box so constructed and arranged that it occupies a minimum of space, and may be conveniently carried in a purse or small pocket. This box is provided wit-l1 a separate compartment in which the powder is contained, also aicompartment for the powder rag or chamois skin, and a mic ror in the cover of the box, so that it forms a complete toiletv article, of the class described.

In the drawings I have illustrated my invention in what I now consider the preferred form'of construction, although the t details thereof may be modifiedwithout define by the scope of the claim, and in these drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of the box with t e cover'p ened; Fig. 2 is a side elevation therco'f'il ustrating the discharge opening in the powder box; Fig. 3 is a view bf the opposite side of the box, illustrating the o enmg' through which the compartment isfified w1th powder, and Fig.

4 is a lon 'tudinal sectional view of the box. In the'gi'awings A illustrates a box of any shape -,found convenient which may be formed of metal, orany other material suitable flrth'e purpose and ornamented in any manner desired. Arranged inside of said box'lA isflan an ular shaped partition A,

'40 which in inclose entirely on the inside of the box, but which forms in connection with the bottom, sides and oneend of the box A artment having openings at each end a com thereo through the sides of t e box A. a is an opening arranged in one end of the compartment A, throu h which said compartment may be filled w th powder and the opening closed by the cover a which is pivotally secured to the side of'the box A. A stop a projects, from the box to limit the partin from the spirit of the invention as movement of the cover, said cover being kept in closed position by frictional engagement with the side of the box. The opposite end ofthe compartment is provided with a plurality of small apertures 6 through which powder contained in said compartment may be sifted, and these apertures are closed by acover 6', which is pivotally secured to the side ofthe box A. This cover 6 is provided with apertures coincident with the apertures b in the box. A stop I) projects from the side of the box A to limit the movement of the cover 5'.

The box A is provided with a cover B preferably hinged at oneend thereof to the" edge of the box A as shown and provided with a clasp B upon the opposite end thereof which takes-over a boss or projection B extending'from the corresponding endof' the box, whereby the cover is held in closed position. Suitably" arranged within the I cover is amirror O which may be held in "POSIUOII in any desired manner, and which closes inside of the box as shown in Fi 4- A, powder rag or chamois skin 0 is to ded and. placed inside ofthe box as shown in, Fig. 1.
